User Reviews

Almost Together

Sooraj Barjatya's Hum Saath Saath Hain is his follow-up to the immensely successful Hum Aapke Hain Kaun. Barjatya has pretty much all the same ingredients here as well. The ensemble cast are all perfectly selected for their roles and have done a good job. Most outstanding of all in the film would be Mohnish Behl. Barjatya has once again written a very meticulous script with great timing by all the artists in bringing out Barjatya's vision from the paper to the screen. The one area where HSSH lacks in is the music. Though not a bad score by any means, it needed a bit more melody and pleasantness to enhance the moods of the film better. Also, the energy that HAHK had somehow seems to be missing. But to be fair to the film, Barjatya has once again presented a very sincere and heartfelt effort. Job well done. 8/10.
